00:00I'm Fierro.
00:02Winky country.
00:04What's been amazing for me
00:06is falling into something huge
00:08and trust the free fall.
00:10Is this how you go through life?
00:12Just running amok and trampling anyone in your path?
00:14He is a prince
00:16and therefore charming.
00:18Once again, the responsibility to corrupt
00:20my fellow students falls to me.
00:22His charm is based on
00:24an easy life, I think.
00:26He's never really felt anything
00:28that's stirred inside of him.
00:30Glinda is the absolute prom queen
00:32to his prom king
00:34and they do have a very easy natural chemistry.
00:36But then when he sees
00:38the vulnerability of Elphaba,
00:40it strikes in him, I think,
00:42a compassion and a curiosity
00:44that's probably always been there
00:46but has never really given him
00:48the space to experience.
00:50Fierro, what are you doing?
00:52Well, you coming?
00:54His perceived sense of beauty
00:56of what he feels he's worth,
00:58he's proved wrong by
01:00because Elphaba sees in him
01:02something that is beyond a physical appearance.
01:04It's actually the vulnerability
01:06of someone else that draws him
01:08closer to himself and I think
01:10the person that he really wants to be.
